PC/CP300 Electronics Laboratory II

Resistive Sensors Lab Requirements

Objective

The lab supervisor will assign a specific sensor to each group. Groups will design circuits with the assigned sensor and then demonstrate the calibration and operation to the other groups in the lab.

Equipment

Procedure

  1. For the transducer's range of operation select the range that you will be working in. You do not have to cover the complete range of operation. Determine the transducer output at several points within your selected working range. Produce a calibration curve using these values.

    Demonstrate your calibration procedure and results to the lab supervisor.

  2. Design and build a circuit which will convert the transducer output over the range you have chosen into a voltage which will go from 0 to 5 volts over that range. Make sure you can get below 0.5V and above 4.5V.

    Demonstrate the circuit over the selected range to the lab supervisor.
